Previously, Arjun Kapoor too asked fans to be supportive on Instagram stories after India lost the first two matches in the ongoing T20 World Cup. He wrote, “Our ego gets bruised if India loses a match let alone two. That’s how well this team has played over the last 10 years or so to bring smiles to our faces and create expectations.”
The Panipat actor also asked fans to ‘allow them to breathe and learn from a loss or two even’. He wrote, “Nobody likes losing but more importantly nobody likes losers who try and get off on other people’s failures either… Grow a pair and be gracious about us not winning to boost our egos.”
Indian cricketer Mohammad Shami was also incessantly trolled and abused online after India was defeated against arch-rival Pakistan on October 24 in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Captain Virat Kohli came out in support of the skipper and slammed ‘spineless’ online haters.
